ie6 bug ignored selector hover bug friendly bit jump to content or jump to navigation friendly bit contact feed ie6 bug ignored selector hover bug nov 27 2006 emil stenström css ie6 bugs seem to pop up all over the place recently this one is a very small one but it might affect people that are building tabbed navigation or css based tooltips the problem is that ie6 ignores selectors in the form of a hover selector the problem say you want to build a tabbed navigation where tabs move slightly when you hover them that was how i found the bug since you want to reuse the images for the tabs you divide them into two pieces according to sliding doors but to do that you need two elements that react on hover one can be the link but you need one more so you add a nested span and your code looks like this ul li a href url1 span home span a li li a href url2 span contact span a li li a href url3 span about span a li ul you cleverly position the span and the link and add a couple of rules to your stylesheet you also want the text to move slightly just like the background so you add some padding a hover background url no repeat left top a span display block a hover span background url no repeat right top padding top 10 px you look at the site in firefox opera safari and ie7 and everything works just fine but what s that why doesn t the text move in ie6 you start removing css and html to pinpoint the problem and end up with a very small testcase with the bug intact the solution looking at the testcase i was just confused i was pretty sure i d seen ie6 do selectors like that before but why didn t it work now haslayout and the other usual ie6 fixes didn t work i loaded up my im client and started asking people if they knew anything simon noted that everything started working when you changed the selector to a hover a hover span ok so setting and then resetting that rule seemed to work some further experimenting revealed that just setting any padding to a hover setting it to zero worked well also solved the problem that was good enough an extra a hover so here s the testcase with the bug solved the bug is apparently fixed in ie7 comments nov 27 2006 by cerebral 1 good to know do you know another site than pie maybe you should contact them to add this one to their list which gathers all those ie6 bugs nov 28 2006 by emil stenström 2 cerebral good idea i have a lot of these little bugs in my posts i ll contact them nov 28 2006 by adam 3 i ve come across this before and found that a hover cursor pointer also works nov 28 2006 by cerebral 4 yeah i found this one too nov 29 2006 by emil stenström 5 adam seems that setting almost anything on a hover works nov 30 2006 by siegfried 6 there is another ie bug with links i already posted it on several sites but this seems to be ignored as you know inside any anchor a element there may be any text or html inline element and anything which is rendered visually then becomes clickable and should lead to the destination referenced by the href attribute not so with the ie just try to put a button inside the anchor the destination is shown in the status line but clicking on that link does nothing this is a bug in the most basic and important feature of the web nov 30 2006 by rasmus kaj 7 this feels somwehat related to the fact that ie6 ignores hover on elements other than a is that fixed in ie7 nov 30 2006 by zcorpan 8 siegfried a button inside a link is invalid and html4 does not define what should happen when you click on a button that is inside a link so no behavior is wrong dec 4 2006 by emil stenström 9 rasmus kaj sorry for not answering until now i don t think they are related ie probably does not even generate an event for mouseover on anything other than links and i doubt that s the problem here may 8 2007 by arne 10 it seems that this fix doesn t work for all combinations at least when using adjacent sibling selectors the fix doesn t work a hover nextelement display block does not work in ie6 no matter what i am trying have you got a tipp how i could get this running with ie6 may 8 2007 by emil stenström 11 arne that s easy ie6 does not support the adjecent sibling selector at all you ll have to use javascript for that annoying isn t it may 11 2007 by arne 12 yes but it isn t just annoying it s really corrupting the web this crappy browser i really hope that systems with os below windows xp will disappear soon as we can assume that in the world of windows xp we will at least see a great migration from ie6 to ie7 this year doesn t solve all the problems but the most annoying ones i think microsoft should only be more rigorous in distributing the new version and yes to users of illegal versions too as they are a great amount of windows users at all so if they really want to help us developers and the web itself they should make possible to update to ie7 without genuine authentication i think i think it s a better choice to help the web than to manage excluding illegal versions may 16 2007 by roger gordon 13 thank you so much for this sanity saving fix i ve spent the last 6 hours trying to figure this one out with no luck it works perfectly now with a hover paddding top 0 applied much appreciated and i agree that you should contact the guys over at p i e with this bug as i couldn t find a solution to this problem there sep 28 2007 by jared
